Please log in for more thread options Anyone know of a reasonable source of speakers? I'm talking individual units, not wall-mount modules. Digikey and Mouser have a limited selection, and Radio Shack seems to be out of the market for those. My google-fu was insufficient to find the components without the plethora of pre-built units or motivational speakers. I'm looking for something in the 1-10 watt range, that fits in a 1.8" (46mm) wide slot, with reasonable low frequency response. Only need a pair. I've got a pair of "notebook" speakers, but they sound really tinny, so I'm trying to find something better. (and yes, I know it's not my amp's design - I put my stereo's speakers on it and they sound fine) DJ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I did a quick search (I don't use Google ;) and found a few places like: http://www.madisound.com/about/loudspeakers.php The prices are *all* over the place. ;-) > I'm looking for something in the 1-10 watt range, that fits in a 1.8"

Oh, that's tiny. Are you going to get reasonable bass response from something that small? > (and yes, I know it's not my amp's design - I put my stereo's speakers

I've got to think about speaker size, enclosure design, and electronics and see just how far I can get before I have to punt and go with one big speaker instead of two smaller ones. The target device is a bedside alarm clock, and most are monaural anyway. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Maybe a radio or optical link inbetween. ;-) -- Keith | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The target device is a bedside alarm clock, and most >are monaural anyway. I said to check surplus houses. If you want small speakers then its best to go where they are. That pretty much dictates ordering large quantities from a Chinese, Japanese, or other manufacturer. They would give you specs or get a custom design. greg | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
